lyrics

I don’t like the girls in San Francisco
The girls in San Francisco don’t like me
Wherever I have talked about and travelled
Wherever I am going, I will be

I have been ferocious and forgetful
I have been so broken and so bored
Wherever I have been I’ll be again, love
I am wherever I am moving toward

I can give up, I can give up, I can give up on my dreams
Whatever I got, it was worth it
Whatever I thought it would be
Time to get over it, time to let it leave
Time to be here now, love
Time to be here now
Time to be here now

I wanna promise purpose and precision
I wanna promise poetry and prose
I wanna promise love will last forever
But it never has and everybody knows

After love what we have to capture
Lying in a stillness, soft and white
Patience in the chaos of creation
Silence in the seance of the night

I can give up, I can give up, I can give up on my dreams
Whatever I got, it was worth it
Whatever I thought it would be
Time to get over it, time to let it leave
Time to be here now, love
Time to be here now
Time to be here now
